Laughed when I saw this and to echo comments above just goes to show how Mickey Mouse the UN has become.

Not sure if people know, but we (UK) are threatening to withdraw/cut our funding from the UN unless there's overhauling of the UN.

Almost as bad as a Nobel Peace Prize for Obama.

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States President Barack Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, 'citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation] and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.

...Jagland said "We have not given the prize for what may happen in the future. We are awarding Obama for what he has done in the past year. And we are hoping this may contribute a little bit for what he is trying to do," noting that he hoped the award would assist Obama's foreign policy efforts.

Jagland said the committee was influenced by a speech Obama gave about Islam in Cairo in June 2009, the president's efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation and climate change, and Obama's support for using established international bodies such as the United Nations to pursue foreign policy goals.

Obama had inherited two wars from Bush (Iraq and Afghanistan). He ended the war in Iraq two years after receiving the Peace Prize, but was unable to end the war in Afghanistan.

Please tell me you're simply not up to speed on Mugabe and not actually that stupid.

Here, have some light reading:

The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in Zimbabwe documented at least 3,750 killings and speculated that the actual number could be double that, or higher, since its coverage was limited to the Tsholotsho districts of Matabeleland North and the Matobo districts of Matabeleland South.[4] Local Ndebele put the figure between 20,000[12] and 30,000.[5] Journalist Heidi Holland referenced a death toll of 8,000 as a typical conservative estimate.[13] In February 1983 the International Red Cross disclosed that 1,200 Ndebele had been murdered that month alone.[1] In a unanimously adopted resolution in 2005, the International Association of Genocide Scholars estimated the death toll at 20,000.[14] Zimbabwean Minister for National Security Sydney Sekeramayi countered that allegations of atrocities were part of a ZAPU disinformation programme to discredit the army.[1] In 1992 serving Defence Minister Moven Mahachi became the first ZANU official who publicly apologised for the execution and torture of civilians by the Fifth Brigade. Five years later, Enos Nkala, former Defence Minister, described his involvement with Gukurahundi as "eternal hell" and blamed President Mugabe for having orchestrated it.[15] Speaking at Joshua Nkomo's memorial service on 2 July 2000, Mugabe admitted that "thousands" had been killed during the campaign, calling it an "act of madness".[1]

Or a quote from the Guardian:

From January 1983, a campaign of terror was waged against the Ndebele people in Matabeleland in western Zimbabwe. The so-called Gukurahundi massacres remain the darkest period in the country’s post-independence history, when more than 20,000 civilians were killed by Robert Mugabe’s feared Fifth Brigade.

All down to Mugabe. The guy is guilty of genocide, driving his own country in to the ground so far that his currency has simply ceased to exist, he has killed off the medical industry in his own country and goes abroad to get medical treatment.

As for the country's finances? Well, when he became president a loaf of bread cost roughly $5 ZIM, or 5 zimbabwean dollars. He wanted more money, so he simply printed more with zero regard for his citizens, which eventually ended up with this (sadly this isn't a joke):

I can only hope that your post was either in jest or you simply posted without knowing what the deal is with Mugabe. One of the most evil men on the face of the earth.
